5th Grade

This week, we began our engineering projects. Students designed a device using at least three simple machines to solve a common problem. We also calculated the mechanical advantage of the levers and inclined planes in these devices.

NEXT WEEK: Students will present their projects to the class. Please practice these presentations with your children if you are able, and bear in mind that these presentations should be two minutes or less. We will also begin our next unit on energy, sound, and light.

6th Grade

This week, we finished our unit on rocks and minerals by learning about uses for rocks and minerals, fossils, and evidence of a literal 6-day creation. We ended with a test on what we learned this unit.

NEXT WEEK: We will begin our next unit on matter by learning about states of matter, phase changes, and atoms. We will also begin discussing our periodic table projects, which will be due on February 18.
